Hi,

Im also facing the same issue. Getting error on scm template task. I have modified the inventory file with FQDN also and I have done all possible things but couldn't figure out what is the issue. Appreciated if anyone can provide us quick solution.

I also had such issues with the role, but after many fixes and improvments, I got it working to deploy a cluster on AWS ..
More infos, in the related issue: #34

Hello. This issue would occur if the hostnames in inventory file are different to the hostnames reported by each node's Cloudera Manager agent. Using short names instead of FQDNs is one possibility, and DNS configuration (or misconfiguration) is another.
